About the PCA

Partner Programs

The Pennsylvania Council on the Arts (PCA) offers programs administered by our regional network of partner organizations, to ensure our funding opportunities reach all communities in the commonwealth. 

Arts in Education

Through artist residencies, the PCA's Arts in Education (AIE) partnership enables artists to help others explore and develop their creativity and artistic skills in a variety of educational, community and institutional settings. 

Folk & Traditional Arts

The PCA's Folk and Traditional Arts partners investigate, document, present, sustain, and promote the folk and traditional art of Pennsylvania in order to celebrate our commonwealth's diverse heritage. 

Folk and Traditional Arts partners also administer the PCA's Folk and Traditional Arts Apprenticeships program.
